The Month of Romance and Love: #7 of 14 Tips for finding better love  

by Renee Lindstrom, GCFP @ Inside Awareness

#7  Intimacy & Vulnerability

Vulnerability comes from trust.  Trust grows from friendship.  Are you seeking gratification or longing for bliss?  if you choose bliss, practice friendship.  Enjoy making friends and the joys of bliss from exploring your shared values and sharing experiences.

Love Day 7Tip for the day:  Be committed to getting to know many friends.  Use this time to practice fun and enjoy the getting-to-know-you process before getting serious.

“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”

James Baldwin

The Month of Romance and Love: #6 of 14 Tips for finding better love  

by Renee Lindstrom, GCFP @ Inside Awareness

#6  How you love is how you are loved

If you love through sex, you will be loved only for sex.  If you love money, you will only be loved forever by how long you have value to the financier.  If you love to be taken care of, you are loved until the novelty of loving you wears off!  However, if you are clear on your needs in a relationship and your love is expansive, you will receive back deeper everlasting love.

Love Day 6Tip of the Day:

Write down 5 things that you love and are loved in return for.  For example:  You are caring, therefore cared for.

 “Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”    Vincent Van Gogh

The Month of Romance and Love: #2 of 14 Tips for finding better love  

by Renee Lindstrom, GCFP @ Inside Awareness, 

  One plus one equals two

If your inner landscape yearns for love, have you decorated your outer landscape for romance?

Does your personal space display your relationship’s intentions?

Love Day twoTip for today:  Notice your outer landscape.  Walk with fresh eyes around your home and notice what dominates the story.  Kids? Work? School? Hobbies? T.V.?   If you want more,  what can you remove to make more space?

.

“Love does not dominate; it cultivates.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
